It was agreed at the Residents' Society that the Padfield Floral Competition would run again this year. We all enjoy the stunning colours and compositions of our gardens, rockeries, borders, hanging baskets and window boxes. Let's see what floral delights appear this year in our village's gardens.​​Judging commenced on 14 May and ended on 27 August, undertaken by Joanne, Joy and Jan. Points are out of a possible 180. First place receives a £15 voucher, 2nd place a £10 voucher and joint 3rd a £5 voucher each.
